Chapter 23 - Kill, kill, kill.

Wraith washed his face in cold water from the bathroom sink and stared into the smudged mirror. He did not like what he saw. Jac looked at him from the kitchen and said. "Do you want a drink?"

"Have you a cigarette?" Wraith said as he walked back into the kitchen.

Jac took a pack from his jeans pocket and handed a cigarette to Wraith.

Wraith studied it for a moment before scrunching it up and throwing it into a nearby bin.

"Why did you do that for?" Jac asked, puzzled.

"I'm a nervous wreck. It's been years since I smoked but I'm desperate for a smoke or a drink, hell both." Wraith answered. "But if I can do what I just did. It means I still have some sort of control. It's a lousy logic I know. But it got me this far in life." He then took out his gun. "Now show me where Iva is."

Mr Jinx slowly closed his eyes and entered into Emily's mind. He felt himself float down like he was in a swimming pool. Then in the darkness he could smell popcorn and hear people laughing and screaming. He opened his eyes within her mind and found himself in a warped twisted version of a funfair.

Everything around him moved slowly. He looked up and saw the sky was on fire with a greenish glow. He began chanting the first rites of the exorcism.

Something dark gave a growl in the tunnel of love.

It didn't take long for Wraith to find the dead boy Alex. He was playing with Hex and a bunch of undead outside the haunted house. "Hex is wonderful." Alex shouted at Wraith. "I can't wait to kill him so he can be just like us." The undead crowd gave a cheer before they all rushed into the haunted house.

The Carnival Camnoki slumbered up to Mr Jinx. Its face shimmered in and out of focus. "You're a fool. That's no real exorcism." It hissed.

Mr Jinx nodded in agreement. "You are correct it's an exorcism for humans. But..." with that Mr jinx suddenly threw a flaming pentagram towards the demon's head. " ...It got you close enough to me to put an anvil spell upon you." With lighting reflexes, the demon swiped the spell away. Mr Jinx stepped back and said to himself. "I really must be getting old. Damn it." And ran for his life. Behind him the demon started to howl like a tornado.

Wraith stepped into the haunted house. On the floor Wraith could see Hex. He rushed over and cradled his head.

Hex looked up with white eyes and moaned. "Behind you."

Stood behind Wraith were Alex and the undead. "The woman was hard to capture. Took us hours, didn't it, lads?" The undead groaned with approval. "But you." Alex said with a smirk. "What she sees in you I will never know. Anyways lads... get him."

Wraith fumbled for his gun but the crowd took him.

Mr Jinx could hear the demon scream behind him. It was getting closer. "You dare think you can destroy me. I may be fun, fun, fun. But I can also be kill, kill, kill."
